#st raphael the archangel

[catholic-saint-tournament]

the real question is how is st raphael losing to the patron saint of england?

IMHO it's because people love a good legend. St George the human dragon slayer vs St Raphael the angel dragon slayer?

Let me reply with one of my favorite quotes from St Maximilian Kolbe:

“If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion.” -St. Maximilian Kolbe

I too would rather be human than angel!!

Governor? More like gover-NERD!

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, Jesus is arrested by Jewish priests who've become jealous of Him. The priests aren't allowed to kill Him since they're technically living under Roman rule and Roman laws, so they hand Him over to the local governor, Pontius Pilate, and tell him that Jesus claimed to be the king of the Jews. This, they hope, will make Pilate think Jesus is trying to start a rebellion against the Romans. Pilate questions Jesus in a pretty simple but dramatic interrogation, beginning by asking Him if He's really a king, to which Jesus replies that His kingdom is not of this world; if it were, His servants would be fighting to free Him. 2. In this cartoon, the first part of the comic sticks to the Bible story, but when Jesus mentions His servants fighting for Him, Pilate tries to clarify by asking, "So you have no servants to fight for you?" But Jesus wasn't saying He doesn't have servants; He was saying they aren't going to fight a physical war to free Him because His kingdom is not a physical one, nor can any physical kingdom hope to threaten it. As Jesus implies this, His actual servants -- the angels -- pester Him to let them beat up Pontius Pilate for Him, but He tells them to calm down since that's not part of the plan. 3. Gabriel (the angel with the blue cape) says, "Pontius Pilate? More like, 'I'm gonna PUNCH THIS Pilate!" PONTIUS is often pronounced PUNCHIS (at least where I'm from), which sounds a little like PUNCH THIS, so Gabriel is just making a play on Pilate's name and saying he's about to clock him if Jesus gives the go-ahead. 4. Michael (the militant soldier angel in the red cape) gives a declaration that sounds a lot like Matthew 8:8. In that verse, a Roman centurion begs for Jesus's help, saying, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my daughter shall be healed." In Mass, we mirror this quote before receiving the Eucharist, except that "roof" refers to the roof of our mouths, since we're about to consume the Eucharist, and instead of "my daughter," we say "my soul." In this cartoon, Michael mirrors the Mass version of the quote, but ends it with "and his soul shall be BROUGHT TO HEEL (i.e. forced to submit)."

I have finally drawn my Raphael design after much procrastination! Rambling under the cut, as usual.

This is the last of the 4 archangels I had to draw. It's not really visible here, but Raphael has wings that look like a loon's! I mostly chose this because loons (adorably) carry their chicks on their back and are quite protective over them. Felt fitting for the angel known to protect/care for children.

A commission for an unnamed client of Saint Raphael the Archangel, the designs based on historical artworks and representation. It came out gorgeously, and I was glad to draw wings again.

If you'd like to commission me, my sheet can be found here, or in the pinned post on my main blog. I currently have 2/3 slots open, if you're interested!

WIP sketch below.

Now, Raphael Has Entered The Chat . . .

[Cover Art: Archangel Raphael with Bishop Domonte by Bartolomé Estebán Murillo] So far, deep in the throes of the cosmos . . . The New God [Archangel Michael] begins to put his thesis to the test! He’s introduced us all to what he simply calls ‘a story,’ except now with three chapters and two interludes worth of getting to know this kooky cast, we’re starting to think Michael is serious about…

Saint Raphael intercession prayer: "Blessed Saint Raphael, Archangel, We beseech thee to help us in all our needs and trials of this life, as thou, through the power of God, didst restore sight and give guidance to young Tobit. We humbly seek thine aid and intercession, that our souls may be healed, our bodies protected from all ills, and that through divine grace we may be made fit to dwell in the eternal Glory of God in heaven. Amen."

Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael the archangels. Personally, Raphael is my favorite

HUH. This actually presents me with quite the conundrum. The angels aren't human beings, so they're not saints in the traditional saints. They're not canonized, but lots of saints weren't canonized.

If we get more votes for them, we'll add the archangels to the bracket! Send in propaganda if you want to see the archangels :)

The Medicine of God: St. Raphael the Archangel

St. Raphael the Archangel holds a prominent place in Catholic tradition as a powerful intercessor and heavenly protector. Known as the “Medicine of God”, St. Raphael’s association with divine healing and guidance has long been significant to the faithful. His role and the origins of his meaningful title offer profound insights into the nature of God’s healing power. The name “Raphael” itself…
